to bring Vistive oil to the market. Cargill expected to contract with growers
in Iowa for 50,000 acres of Vistive
soybean production this year. This
soybean variety contains less than 3%
linolenic acid.
New Asoyia soybean oil comes from
a soybean variety that is about 1% linolenic acid. Asoyia LLC, a cooperative
of soybean growers based in Winfield,
IA, expected to have about 3.5 million
lb of the soybeans available this year
and hopes to expand to 20 million lb
next year, according to Vivan Jennings,
c.e.o. of Asoyia.
Asoyia is targeted primarily at the fry
oil and ingredient market making it a
possible inclusion in extruded snacks.

LIQUID OILS IN SNACKS
Two liquid oils, one from sunflower
and the other from canola, show
promise as frying oils for snack chips
and as additions to oil blends for

baked
foods. Both oils
are free
of trans

fat and low in saturated fat.
This year, the food industry should
see a better supply of sunflower seed
oil. The National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) of the US Department
of Agriculture predicted 2005 sunflower acres intended for oil at 2.2 million
compared with 2.0 million in 2003 and
1.5 million last year when weather affected the crop negatively.
NuSun sunflower oil will account for
about 70% of this year's US volume,
according to John Sandbakken, marketing director of the National Sunflower
Association, Bismarck, ND. NuSun, a
mid-oleic sunflower oil, is less than 10%
saturated fat and has no trans fat.
Oil volume from sunflowers still
cannot compare with worldwide volume of soybean oil and palm oil. GMA
stated that one of its members claimed
reformulating one single brand of its
snack foods with NuSun would require
the company to use the entire supply of
NuSun currently available.

Liquid oil from canola should be
in higher supply this year, too, with
volume continuing to increase in the
following years. Canola plantings in
the United States are projected at 1.0
million acres this year, compared with
865,000 in 2004 and 1.1 million in 2003,
according to NASS.
Weather reduced the crop volume
for both sunflower and canola last year,
according to Pat Kearney, president of
PMK Associates in Alexandria, VA, and
a nutritionist speaking for Dow AgroSciences, LLC, Indianapolis, IN.
Dow AgroSciences offers Natreon, a
canola oil that is 7% saturated fat with
no trans fat. Ms. Kearney said combined volume of Natreon and NuSun
might reach 3 billion lb for the North
American market by 2008.
Earlier this year, Cargill and Bayer
CropScience, Research Triangle Park,
NC, a subsidiary of Bayer AG, Monheim, Germany, formed an alliance to
produce specialty canola oil.
